Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"This is an interesting book, whose focus is on the nature of turbulent fluctuations. ... This book will be particularly intriguing to specialists in the field and also to scientists who are interested in the many aspects of scientific debate." (Barbara Vanda Villone, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 e)
